Bloated

(2 out of 5 stars)

"This is a 2-disc set bloated to 5 discs by redundant playing of the same scenes for different narratives. Audio quality variable with the narrations often overcome by the music. Editing poor as infrequent use of maps and credits given at the end of first half of disc and again at end of disc. Iwo Jima only occupies one half of disc 5 and naval battles are glided over, so misleading title. In all, kind of boring to watch.Disc 1: Pearl HarborDisc 2: New Guinea/Guadalcanal & the SolomonsDisc 3: Tarawa/KwajaleinDisc 4: Saipan & Tinian/PeleliuDisc 5: Iwo Jima/Okinawa"
